I flew from Albany,Georgia to Chattanooga to get my 2023 DCT TOUR. It was a great experience. The bike was prepared and ready to go. Bill Spearman picked me up at the airport. It took a little over an hour to do the paperwork. Everything matched the quote . No added hidden cost. I would do it all again. My Wing is awesome. Not one issue with it.

What a fantastic dealership. Last year I purchased a 2022 Gold Wing with Roadsmith trike kit installed. I live in Hawaii so I made the deal over the phone. My salesman, Bill Spearman, picked me up at the airport and spend several hours teaching me about the bike. My wife and I took of for a 6,000 mile road trip ending in Montana. Kyle Downey is great! Lastly, if you fly in leave yourself a couple days to ride the area, unbelievable. Nothing but good to say about Southern Honda Powersports. Aloha

Here’s what happened for me- After watching the podcast I figured I would see what Southern Honda could do for me on a Rebel 1100 DCT for Mrs RTC. It took a little effort and a couple of attempts to get a response from them-2 days these days is an eternity. Once I did get a response, way too much back and forth for something pretty cut and dry. After getting two local quotes from where I bought each of my Gold Wings, I asked for a out the door price, providing them with my home location to calculate tax and still got an X plus tag and title figure instead of a actual hard number. I your playing along at home and keeping score, that’s strike three. Although the savings may be there, it a 580 mile each way trip and I would say not worth it, IMHO. Enjoyed the interview, keep it up Chris! 💪🏻

For those of you that think that comments on KZbin don’t get peoples attention, let me tell you why that is 100% not true! My comments here about my experience with Southern Honda were not an attempt to get a better deal, actually, it was just to share my personal experience. Apparently Kyle Downey read my comments and did something about it. I just got off the phone with him, on his personal cell phone, while handling a family situation, a few minutes ago and had a long conversation about my entire experience up to this point with Southern Honda Powersports, and he took a personal interest in what took place. To the point that he put together a quote for what I was exactly looking for in an attempt to make things right, not necessarily sell me a motorcycle. Bravo, Kyle Downey, bravo!

Great video and great dealership! I did a group ride from Georgia to this dealership when the 2018 model was released for a ride event. I test-rode a blue 6-speed and enjoyed it. I September of 2023 I purchased my new 2023 DCT Tour from this same dealer after the easiest online vehicle purchase I could imagine! And I purchased at $1900 under MSRP without the motorcycle build fees I was encountering at dealers in metro Atlanta! Plus the Gold Strike anchor points were already installed on my new bike, free of charge, to make that made securing my bike to my trailer much easier and quicker! TOP NOTCH and worthy of level 5 dealer!

While these guys must be doing something right by selling so many Wings, he's spot on about off-road focused dealers wanting to move Wings. Honda forces all their dealers to take at least 1 Wing, and dealers who don't want them will probably unload it at near cost. I paid $28,500 otd including 6% tax for my 2023 DCT Tour last Feb the day after it came in on my pre-arranged deal and they delivered it to my home. My nearest Powerhouse dealer in Michigan was over $32k otd.

I got my first Honda mini bike in 1971, have purchased many bikes since then, and currently am still riding a Honda street bike. It is pretty well known, that Honda is playing the game a lot of companies do, and that is supplying motorcycles they want you to buy, not want you want to buy. Case in point, is the Honda NT 1100, which is only available in Europe/ Asia ( i believe ) , but not North America. The NT would be a good replacement for the ST series, but of course not perfect, because the NT is chain drive, so some would say, once again, if you want a sport/ tour type bike, you gotta spend big money for a Goldwing. Supposedly this is because marketing does not want competition with the Goldwing. They seem to want the high income earner only, when it comes to bikes for the street, that would qualify as a Sports tourer or a Tourer. Some would say, Honda has abandoned American customers , and variety, compared to the rest of the World.

The Honda supply chain is a joke. Went to one dealer who has 2 Transalps that have been there for weeks. Go 20 miles up the road, and the dealer has 10 people on the waiting list with nothing projected to arrive soon.

During the pandemic we had to get real creative to find units through dealer trades and pre-owned bike sales. Post pandemic we are thankful to see our inventory to return to the normal with 750+ in stock. Some models are harder to find than others but wed love a shot at tracking one down for you!

I’ve never ridden a Goldwing, can I test ride?
@jacobcurtis68499 ай бұрын
We could probably sell more here in Ohio if Honda wouldn't pick and choose who gets certain things They tell us unit availability is based on last year sales or "contribution" but our units invoiced dropped almost 30% every year for the last decade.

How is the service dept. after a sale?
@jeffruetten88448 ай бұрын
While I didn’t buy from them directly, I did buy my 2018 GW from someone who did. I live in Atlanta and use them for any service needs rather than the jokers 10 miles from my house. I got two quotes from the same dealer $200 apart from each for an 8000 mile service. Southern motorsports were much less.

I want to see the Honda NT1100 show up in the US. I believe it has a re-tuned Africa Twin engine, and seems to be a great touring bike. I would consider buying one over bikes like the FJR1300, or GSX-S 1000 GT+, or R1250RT. I see it like a smaller Gold Wing. Fingers crossed.

The Honda gold wing is the best motorcycle ever built, the all new boxer 6 cylinder engine can see miles as high as 800,000 with on time proper maintenance.

Great interview! It has me thinking about a new '24 Gold Wing Tour. I am not sure if I want to trade in my 2014 Street Glide Special, I bought new or just buy one out right. I saw a white '24 GW this weekend and it caught my attention sitting in a parking lot. I am in Northwest Ohio so it would be a roundtrip. So, what do you think 🤔🤔🤔 @SHPSKyleDowney

They should complain to Honda about the color choices they have. Or lack of color selection. Black & white is so boring
@stevedibiase7289 ай бұрын
Agreed boring colors much as most hate to admit I see some beautiful cool looking Harley colors out there also Honda auto line is boring colors too, do they know there is more than white paint available out there.

Thank you for the great work that you have done on this channel! Ha, I am one of those younger generation that you've mentioned on the show.... So could you tell me more about the 2025 Gold-wing Adventure (I saw a picture of it online) since the regular Gold Wing is still too grown-up-ish for us :) ? It looked super cool... thinking about getting one if it's going to be sold here in the States. Thanks!
